my brother was a mortarman in Iraq in the battle of Najar, but due to ROEs and them using the golden mosque as a launching pad he couldn't fire mortars back.A SAW can be specific to self defense.... That's a go. The other area ordinances you mentioned? Not so much...
So......he was the SAW gunner. 17 or so 'confirmed' kills (i've heard it's closer to 40 or 50) later to this day he 'would recommend' hahaha

never gets talked about, but this shit was no joke. Got down to hand to hand/ fix bayonets, literally
